    Solid shows
    Enjoy the 49era and Giants coverage. Would like to hear from Baggerly more often

    Tony Bennett Lives
    We are New Yorkers who vacationed early July in San Francisco and walked from Nob Hill to Oracle Park where the Golden Sun shined for us as Tony promised and Michael Conforto went 3 for 4 with HR against Rockies inspiring us to walk after game to Embarcadero to Market Street to O’Farrell Street stopped at Macy’s then walked up O’Farrell through the Tenderloin all the way to St. Mary’s. Absolutely Beautiful walk! Tenderloin was only place we saw a few tents. We were never the least bit scared or wary. Don’t believe the hype! Tony lives!
  • KaPo-CA
    Listen to for my Kruk & Kuip fixes
    Very good show, love the mix of sports, music references, and humor. The K&K interviews are my favorite.

    Murph & Beavis
    Murph: says a bunch of stuff. Mac: “Yeah, yeah!” No surprise he says things like: “I feel you a million percent.” And on Monday, re: Dre Greenlaw, a black player: “That’s my boy. That’s my boy, right there!”

  • Doesnt it make it Our Time
    Simply The Best
    When they first came on the air , I thought who are these guys? I couldn’t tell if I liked them. I’m glad I stuck with them. I can’t wait to get my Murph and Mac dose every day. Even when i’m on vacation I listen. I wish they had entire shows , not just guest interviews, on podcast. Thanks fellas!

    Best radio combo ever
    Thanks for making life better for me. Love the infusion of music, politics, literature, and amazing story telling. You guys are the peanut butter and jelly of sports talk radio. I never miss a second on podcast. Here’s to not getting a tap on the shoulder. I think your edge is what taps into the creativity and ability to muscle thru these crazy times. Taking you guys to dinner is on my bucket list!
  • Veronicaraye
    The Bay is lucky to have Murph, Mac, Bonnie Jill, Copes, and the Waterboy
    They manage to never have a bad show, despite pandemics, protests, and everything else. Murph and Paully have incredible chemistry. KNBR should give them tenured lifetime contracts - golden gate James.
  • BiggestElvis
    Love the show-
    Wish we could have the entire show as a podcast!
  • M. Reeves
    BEST SPORTS SHOW EVER!
    Murph & Macs Chemistry Is Second To None! Love This Show And Love How Much They Care! Will Listen Til The Day The Show Ends!
  • Jobwell_done
    Full shows
    Can you finally make full shows available for download like every other radio station?! Usually the best parts of the shows are NOT during the interviews. Figure it out
  • Marcus the hungry
    Murph & Mac show
    These guys put on a fantastic show every weekday on the Leader! I love this PodCast to catch-up on things that I may miss.
  • ASeR1_ATG
    49ers flagship
    Dude u guys are great man I look forward to ur guys’ podcast every week & always get mad wen there isn’t anymore...I’m from Southern California & I still listen to a lot of ur podcast besides the ones that cover the 49ers
  • Jeff from the SF Bay Area
    Used to be a good show but.....
    They decided to go political. Who wants to listen to that at 6:30am? I don’t. Thankfully Tolbert and Lund are there with enough content till Gary and Larry come on.
  • Genericdrake
    Love the show
    Love Murph and Mac! They are the best in the business as far as I’m concerned. Only recently discovered the pod and my only complaint is that they seem to have stopped uploading the entire show. I have a short commute to work so I never get to catch too much on my drive in. As recent as last week, they were uploading every hour. Now it’s basically just the interviews. Go back to uploading hours 1, 2, 3 & 4! Not sure whose job it is but I blame Medium Impact Bryan!
  • Lawfin06
    Listen for the guests.
    Most of the reviewers are pro Murphy and against Mac. I have to disagree. Lately, Murph has been smarmy and wants to be a political wonk too. Yes he deserves credit for hiring Harbaugh, but he also shoulders blame for annoying Harbaugh to the point where Harbaugh ended the call. Overall, listen to this for the guests if you can stand Murph.
  • Hobby lobby bobby
    Love these guys!!
    Listen every morning!!
  • pereeli
    always enjoy
    Appreciate the year on going analysis Murph & Mac provide ...side feedback ...I've stopped listening to Chip Kelley weekly...just to get to the point Chip is annoying and borders unprofessional.
  • GFred1
    Why so slow to update podcasts?
    C'mon KNBR, get your interns to get their act together and update these podcasts. A week late pretty much defeats the purpose.
  • Jdtown7
    Slow on new material
    How long does it take to update the info? It seems to take weeks!
  • El Hefe Mojo
    No regular updates
    Seriously, who is in charge of podcasts at KNBR? Things got inconsistent at the beginning of the summer. As summer went on, you couldn’t count on the podcasts being updated. Days would go by then suddenly there would be 5 days worth of content. Now, you’re lucky to get one episode every two weeks. What a shame, they are missing a great opportunity to share their content with listeners who don’t have schedules that allow them to hear it live.
  • ClintonSportsGuy
    Too much change
    This podcast was better when broken down into segments. This looks like the producer just took audio off the skimmer, which isn't fair to listener. But it is good for this show to be back on iTunes.
  • msk21
    Love the podcast, hate the new format
    Murph and Mac podcasts used to be the best - all the good interviews, quickly uploaded, easy to find. And then it all got screwed up! Why, KNBR, would you force the faithful listeners to scroll through 30 minute plus audio files to find the interviews we want to hear? Please take us back to the good old days...
  • Interested 777
    Please resume breaking out & labeling interviews/guests
    Please, please resume breaking out and listing the interviews! It's not helpful to have an entire unlabeled show for download. Why did you stop labeling the available segments, and including guests interviewed? Thanks!!
  • healthier now 2012
    too much hassle to fill in the gaps after commute!
    who decided to ruin the knob podcasts! no description!! ii used to be able to fill the holes of whatever i missed, now too frustrating. this is cheaper no doubt but this is pointless. i’ve switched to kqed during my am commute to avoid getting frustrated trying to catch the end of a segment or whatever.
  • itsKQ
    Please, break up the segments
    Found ya! The trouble is, I really don’t have time to listen to the whole dang show again. I just want to be able to pick out the good parts - in my case, that would be interviews with the beloved Giants. I miss some of the good stuff when I go in to work. So PLEASE…? Break it up into manageable segments! Not just Kruk & Kuip segments (although I am grateful for those bits that are segmented out) but all of it. For those of us who just can’t go through an hour or more of podcast per day. Thanks! ***EDIT*** Okay, I poked around a little more, and found the segments on the main KNBR podcast. I’m glad to have found them, but geez, you don’t make it easy to find! Looks like some cleanup is in order; lots of duplications, etc. Hope you get it fixed soon!
  • maui tom
    I never now when things change on Itunes...
    couldn't find the show for a week....I have to pod everything so it was a big void for me.....found it again though....all is well.....:)
  • wan8iv
    Love the show, they talk all Bay area sports
    Murph who was a sports writer has become one of the best interviewers in the sports business in my opinion. Does a fantastic job, his interview of J.York after the Harbaugh FIRING was priceless. He wasn't trying to make the son of the owner look bad but he did make him look as bad as Dr. York after his terrible firing of Mariucci. Great show!!
